When Kids "Snap"

Snap. Snap pictures, that is. :)

 Here's the results of my kids playing with my camera; which is against the rules, by the way. ;) However, it's fun to see things thru your kids eyes...and they get pictures that I would have NEVER taken....like the seven pictures of my badly pedicured foot on the gas pedal....or the floor of Mellow Mushrooms restaurant...and the clouds. I have a gazillion pictures of clouds.....

This is a close up of a flower on Sarah's skirt.....

 Random images like Zebra trucks show up....
 Or kinda awesome pics....like this....
 Funny Stuff....that I wouldn't have thought to snap....
 There are pluses to kids playing with your camera. It confirms how badly your hair looks in public....and lets you see the "lets get this over with" look your son makes as you kiss him in public. :)
 One of the gazillion cloud pictures. Seriously, there's like 12, 945, 389 pictures of CLOUDS. Without exaggeration. Because I would never exxagerate just to make a point. No. I promise. Matthew McCaughney helped me count them while he was here painting my bathroom. :)


Don't be afraid to let your kids use your camera! Sometimes its surprising what you find. Sometimes its embarrassing....and sometimes its downright hilarious....

If you're a waitress...never, ever tell me that your out of sweet tea. I don't take it well....as documented by Sarah. :)  This picture isn't posed....if you don't believe me, just as Matthew McC- he was there :)


Shine!!! Caffeinated or not! :)  Cass

Shamrock On!

Aye, my lads and lassies tis' been a long while since we've crossed paths! Today is the day of Irish blessings, corned beef and cabbage, green rivers, shamrocks, bag pipes and lots and lots of funny hats. (trust me on that, LOTS of funny hats) The kids and I had a great day in downtown GREENSboro today...and took lots of "GREEN" pictures of  random green greatness.




We spent our day visiting vintage shops of all kinds...its our latest (and yet oldest) obcession....meaning, we've rediscovered our love for "vintage" things.


Being in "GREENSboro" you can imagine there is much GREEN to behold....



There was a parade...but we chose to spend our time in the shops, meeting friendly shop owners and mulling over books that smell like moth balls and old women. We couldn't have been happier.




Well, at least some of us couldn't have been happier....
 Why should you never iron a 4-leaf clover? You don't want to press your luck. 



A live band was setting up...and the party revelers were moving in....they were festive, with their sparkly bowties and moss-green hair :)


This is my daughter Sarah.....I love the ribbon in her hair...




My daughter, Kiddles :)



Hope your St. Patty's Day was as fun filled and grandly green as ours! :)
May you have warm words on a cold evening, a full moon on a dark night, and the road downhill all the way to your door. 


-Shine!! Cass
